I like black woman. Specifically ones with huge butts. This is because I am very exotic in my tastes.

you mean like this?

so this is the way it is now. whenever anyone wants something in a game its a fuckin petition.

arbitrary over powered bosses that only serve to frustrate.

What the FUCK. This game is completely nuts in a good way. I really wished these Japanese developers would develop for the PC, because man I would love to play this on a PC with an xbox controller.

id like to see it on the PC too. maybe then it would not have ugly black borders

nope. i hate it when others do it so i wouldn't do it to others.

Couldn't care less about this game at the moment. Different developer, different tone, different aesthetic, different gameplay... yeah, it says Max Payne on the box but I'll really have to see it to believe it. As of now all I can take away from the game is "generic third-person shooter with slow-motion gimmick." Big deal. All the technical aspects Rockstar have been pushing don't really matter if the game itself is soulless.

Not to mention, being developed primarily for consoles is definitely going to compromise the gunplay (sorry, shooters on consoles simply follow completely different design conventions, you just can't do a fast-paced reflex-, precision-driven game in the same mold without making compromises). Yeah, gameplay looks similar in trailers, but it's things like level design, enemy AI and aggressiveness, how big Max's health bar is, and so on that will really determine how it plays, not the camera perspective.

Beyond that, Max Payne, despite having good action, was much more about the subtle things - the dark humour, the interplay between characters, the parody-noir writing that was way more tongue-in-cheek than most people admitted at the time - and I don't trust a developer like Rockstar to deliver the same quirkiness and attention to detail.

thats a pretty long post for someone that doesn't care.

Have some respect for a long time fan. He's making very good points, if you'd played Max Payne before you'd have something thoughtful to say.

and what makes you think i hav'nt played MP and MP2 before. i bought both the day they came out and played and enjoyed the fuck out of them. just becasue im not mr cynical trousers doesn't mean i never played them. i think MP3 looks great.

great point
